dear speaker of the do nothing house,

we, the people,

 haven't forgotten about the Epstein files 

we know which party owns the shutdown  - no one is buying what you're selling 

and knowing that you would rather keep the government shut down than vote on releasing the Epstein files is an incredibly bad look

DO YOUR JOB!!!

then work on a CR that can actually pass through the Senate

i have some questions...

are you okay with THIS ?

it's happening at peaceful protests across the U.S.

she was using her constitutionally-protected right of free speech to protest the kidnapping and unwarranted imprisonment of brown people by masked men who refuse to show judicial warrants or to follow due process 

(but she might have been protesting against the latest insane executive order or for aid to Ukraine or for the release of the Epstein and Homan files or against starving people to death to clear a strip of land for real estate development or for an end to the stupid,  stupid, stupid trade war of tariffs)

now, you might say that she was obstructing or impeding federal forces

if she was unlawfully impeding federal forces, why wasn't she detained, arrested, charged - instead of being fired upon (with "less than lethal rounds") by government snipers, thrown to the ground repeatedly, sprayed with chemical weapons, pushed and shoved, put in a headlock? i'm  not a lawyer,  but isn't that assault?

she did not touch any of them and she was  not armed with any weapons 

is this what happens when armed, violent, untrained, vicious men in masks and wearing body armor are given free reign to attack their fellow citizens with the "full force" of their rage and hate?

watch again - remembering that she could be your

 daughter/sister/mother/granddaughter/grandmother/auntie/niece/neighbor/friend 

and ask yourself:

am  i okay with this?

cuz i am not

i say enough already - take a stand

return engagement

it's baaaaack!!! 

old friends, together again - follow the link to verify

yeah - we haven't forgotten

 (some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time)

release the Epstein and Homan files

dear 119th Congress,

this shouldn't have to be said...

put your sworn obligations TO THE PEOPLE  you represent FIRST 

instead  of being suckophants and worrying about Thing One's mean tweets damaging your primary chances

DO YOUR JOB 

NEGOTIATE with each other 

swear in the freely and fairly elected new congresswoman

FUND THE FREAKING GOVERNMENT

 and release the freaking files...

just sayin' 

(and, seriously, it should not HAVE to be said)

by the way,  if whatever is in those files is more damaging than this REPUBLICAN SHUTDOWN of the entire federal government ... it makes me really,  really,  REALLY want to have a look see...

🕊 makers gonna make 🕊

there are quilters among us ... and we are peacemakers 

several weeks ago a gathering of protesters embellished rectangles of fabric with positive messages of peace, resistance, defiance, hope, equality, inclusion, liberty

 and this was created...

(yes, the sky was this blue yesterday and the grass was this green)

i dunno if ALL of the written words are positive cuz i haven't read them all

but I DO know that MOST of the people who gather on these corners every saturday morning with their signs and banners 

are aware of the dangers we are facing as a nation of laws 

and are shocked, appalled and angry

 AND are hopeful and committed to peace

 and to making sense and decency common again...

blessed are the piecemakers and the peacemakers...

just sayin'

also, release the Epstein and Homan files

it bears repeating...

here are some links to broaden knowledge on  AUTISM and  AUTISM and AUTISM 

and here are links with information about the medication Acetominophen and Acetaminophen 

 if you have trouble pronouncing Acetaminophen (like Thing One), it is often referred to as Tylenol

in the World according to me 

Thing One's TYLENOL hoax  announcement is a DANGEROUS (and despicable) distraction serving as another example of the fact that he doesn't give a flying leap at a rolling donut about women or children 

just sayin' 

also, release the Epstein files and, while you're at it, release the Homan files

friendship month

there is a new pop-up statue on the National Mall  to celebrate Friendship Month

(available for viewing till sunday at 8pm eastern)*

just sayin'

*edit - early removal  “due to it not being in compliance with the permit.” 

yeah, sure - we're totally buying that line

like i said, just sayin'

release the Epstein files

fourth and long

there may have been even more anxiety (being designated as the enemy within, labeled a radical-extremist-leftist-marxist-communist-socialist, and losing rights that have been protected by the Constitution for centuries might have something to do with elevated blood pressure and panic attacks) and stabby stabbying the past few days cuz another skein is gone

anywho...

it's gonna take at least one more skein for this border

(the fabric was torn at 18" by 56" and will be trimmed to 12" x 48" after the embroidery is done and it has been pressed)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

free speech in the USA?!?

it seems the First Amendment has been violated by Thing One Administration's FCC

 and Disney bent the knee ... again

 after voting with my checkbook by cancelling our Disney+ subscription today, we found this replacement:

The New Disney

you can vote with your ballot AND with your wallet

also, release the Epstein files

morning, glory

kinda glorious, huh?!?
